While I appreciate the enthusiasm and effort, right now my concern is not with hashing out details to a new web site for Stripes. I was disappointed, though not surprised, to learn that Tim is no longer involved and that is a much bigger issue. Basically we're all on a ship without a captain and thus have no idea where we're going.
Many successful Open Source projects have a name behind it: Spring - Rod Johnson, Grails - Graeme Rocher, JBoss - Marc Fleury, Hibernate - Gavin King, etc. Tim is/was the name behind Stripes. What I am more interested in at this point is the formulation of a vision of where Stripes needs to go and a very high-level plan on how to get there. As the old saying goes, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Creating a new, updated web site is a good high-level idea but there are a lot more top-level issues to resolve than the web site. Having said all that, keep up the effort in driving the discussion about the new web site. I won't argue with someone who is passionate about something and takes ownership of it. I would ask though to keep the Google group focused on just the new web site and leave the discussion about the future of Stripes here on the mailing list.

However, I'd want to keep using Google Groups so we can maintain documents such as this: Possible Site Architecture http://groups.google.com/group/stripeswebsite/web/possible-site-architecture Anyone can view this file, but to contribute to it, you have to be a member of the Google Group--I don't think it would be productive to try and hash this out in multiple iterations over the list. I'm happy to post here whenever a doc is added there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
